1. I’d say this game was more of a learning experience for the younger players. AFC North playoff games are always pretty gritty.

2. I’m with Rebecca on this one.

3. Porter was probably just making sure AB was alright, then things escalated.

4. It would be smart to dress them all, even if Ben isn’t able to start. I still don’t trust Landry Jones.

5. I would advise him to utilize the TE’s and RB’s early and often, and to tell the team to stop committing silly penalties.

never really thought of it that way, but obviously the egg came first.

well, even within the same instance…the egg would have come first anyway. As whatever final evolutionary mutation occurred ti finalize the modern chicken would have begun in that egg. 🙂

Honestly, I would guess that Mike Tomlin knows the importance of depth. The Steelers have always had 3 QB’s during his time, to cite one example.

The Steelers depth HAS been thin of late, (think of 2013 when Pouency AND Larry Foote went down) but I think that had a lot more to do with the Steelers still being in Salary Cap Purgatory than any lack of appreciation of depth on the part of either Tomlin or Colbert.

1. The young guys will see that organized indiscipline, arrogant ignorance and stupid vanity are the enemy of teamwork and brotherhood. I hope NFL films tells the real story of the events leading up to the field goal because it is a valuable life lesson and it needs to be told.
2. I think neither. I am sure both running backs would give credit to the O line and to the fact they are somewhat comfortable and familiar with the blocking scheme to some extent. I don’t think talent level was the big factor in the success of the running game.
3. Rebecca took care of that question.
4. Dress all three. Ivan’s plan is very interesting. If you are Denver what QB tape are you looking at today? Of course this all depends on Big Ben’s ability to adequately function in the position. Dress all three, give them reps in practice and have a game plan for each that utilizes their strengths and minimizes their weaknesses then roll the dice.
5. Sorry but I got nothin for this answer.

Third coach to leave then. They lost DB and LB coaches iirc.

FYI, the egg came first. The chicken was many million years later.

1) Making the playoffs and winning in Cincy provides confidence to the team that the “Steeler Way” is the right path for success. Not only for the young leaders of this team (Cam Heyward, Mike Mitchell, Antonio Brown and David Decastro), but also for the new guys (Bud Dupree, Ryan Shazier, Jesse James and the TnT Boys). That confidence will be display in Denver win or lose. If we get positive play from the QB position, I like our chances.

2) Kevin Colbert is responsible for getting the “right” players to fit in our system. He learned from the RB meltdown from last year and plugged D-Will and the TnT Boys into the fold.

3) I loved Toronto Steeler Fan’s response. Hee! Hee!

4) We have to activate Mike Vick. If Ben can’t go and Landry is stinking up the stadium, then let’s go with Vick. He’s been there on the big stage. Can he get the job done? I believe he still has something left in the tank. Is it enough, I hope we don’t have to find out.

5) If MT calls me, I say “Mike, Why are you callin’ me? You got this!”
